Can Diaz Editor draw duct runs and heat-pump layouts?

Yes. The 2D CAD module has duct and pipe (leiding) objects with diameter and material, plus the component library for heat pumps, indoor and outdoor units, air-handling units, diffusers, valves and manifolds. You draw supply, extract and refrigerant runs on their own layers, label them, and export to DXF or a permit-ready PDF. Note: Diaz Editor produces drawings, schematics and a bill of materials — it does not replace a heat-loss or duct-sizing calculation engine, so sizing sign-off stays with you.

Does it handle ventilation, refrigerant and electrical on separate layers?

Yes — the GWW/utility object set puts supply air, extract air, refrigerant, condensate, heating and electrical each on its own discipline layer with its own material list. You can keep an MVHR duct run, the refrigerant line-set and the condensate drain in one project and export a clean separated DXF per discipline for the downstream trade.

Is this overkill for a single split-unit or one heat-pump swap?

No. Sketch the room in a few minutes, drop in the indoor and outdoor units, route the refrigerant line-set and condensate, and generate a clear install drawing plus a parts list for the wholesaler and a PDF for the client. For most domestic jobs that beats a hand sketch and is far quicker than fighting a full BIM suite.

HVAC & ventilation use cases

Heat-pump installs: Position the outdoor unit and indoor units, route the refrigerant line-set and condensate drain, generate the install drawing + parts list for the wholesaler.
Ventilation & MVHR: Draw supply and extract duct runs per floor, place the heat-recovery unit and diffusers, label each branch with diameter and airflow.
Air-conditioning & split systems: Lay out single-split, multi-split or VRF indoor units, route line-sets back to the condenser, keep it clean for the quote.
Duct & plant-room layouts: Route rectangular and round ducts with fittings, position the air-handling unit, export a clean DXF for the building contractor.
Hybrid & renovation work: Combine a new heat pump with the existing radiator or underfloor network in one drawing for the client quote.
Permit & quotation drawings: Generate the duct-plan + per-discipline schematic PDF for the permit pack, or a clean 3D view to win the job against a Word-doc quote.

Why HVAC installers choose Diaz Editor

One-time €99 founding (or €997 regular Pro) vs an AutoCAD MEP or Revit subscription built for office BIM teams.
Real duct and pipe (leiding) objects with diameter and material — supply air, extract air, refrigerant and condensate each on their own layer.
Component library covers heat pumps, indoor and outdoor units, air-handling units, diffusers, valves and manifolds out of the box.
Per-discipline bill of materials — air, refrigerant, heating and electrical tallied separately for the wholesaler.
DXF export round-trips cleanly with AutoCAD, BricsCAD and FreeCAD shops downstream.
Local-only — client install data stays on your machine, no cloud account, no Autodesk audit.

Honest scope: Diaz Editor draws layouts, schematics and parts lists. It is not a heat-loss, duct-sizing or psychrometric calculation engine — load calculations and code sign-off stay your professional responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

What CAD do self-employed HVAC installers actually use?

AutoCAD MEP and Revit MEP are the big names — expensive and built for whole-building BIM teams. HVAC suites like MagiCAD, Stabicad and DDS-CAD add duct- and load-sizing calculations but are office-priced subscriptions. Most solo installers fall back to hand-sketching or a generic 2D tool with no duct library. Diaz Editor fills the affordable mid-tier with real duct objects and one-time pricing.

Can I draw duct runs and heat-pump layouts?

Yes. The 2D module has duct and pipe (leiding) objects with diameter and material, plus heat pumps, indoor and outdoor units, air-handling units, diffusers and valves in the library. Draw supply, extract and refrigerant on their own layers, label them, export DXF or PDF. It draws and lists — it does not replace a heat-loss or duct-sizing engine, so sign-off stays with you.

Does it handle ventilation, refrigerant and electrical too?

Yes. The utility/GWW object set covers supply air, extract air, refrigerant, condensate, heating and electrical, each on its own discipline layer with its own material list. Export a clean separated DXF per discipline for the next trade.

Is it overkill for a single split-unit or heat-pump swap?

No. Sketch the room in minutes, drop in the indoor and outdoor units, route the refrigerant line-set and condensate, generate an install drawing plus a parts list for the wholesaler and a PDF for the client. Beats a hand sketch and is far quicker than a full BIM suite.
